USonic-R™ USR-XXXX Series
Glossary of Terms
Distance
The measured distance from the sensor face to the target.
Distance Mode
Output signal increases as the distance increases (reverse acting output)
Distance to Zero Flow
This is the “No Flow” condition in a flume or weir. It may be to the bottom of the
flume/weir, or depending on the type of flume/weir the “no flow” condition may
be above the bottom of the flume/weir, with standing water below this point.
Fault Indication
Output goes to 3.7 mA or 22 mA (user selectable in configuration menu)
during a fault condition such as Lost Echo or Near Zone. See Error Messages
section
Flow Mode
Output increases as level (head height) increases. Output is non-linear
with level and is based on Flume/Weir primary element characterization, or
strapping table
Flow rate
The instantaneous flow rate measured in flow mode of operation.
Flume Size
A selection of the various throat sizes of specific flume and weir tables contained
in the pre-programmed software.
Flume Type
A selection of the specific flume and weir types that have been pre-programmed
in the software.
Gain Adjustment
The USonic-R’s default gain setting is with SmartGain™, abbreviated a “HD”
in the software code. Other gain settings are available for use in abnormal
application requirements. Contact the factory before changing from “HD”
mode.
HD Adjustments
SmartGain™ (sometimes seem abbreviated as “HD”) provides an algorithm
that permits the system to ignore most internal obstructions that are inside
of the ultrasonic beam path. Changing an “HD” setting will allow this same
algorithm to be used at different power settings. Consult factory before
changing HD Adjustments.
Head Units
In Flow configuration the level measurement (bottom of flume/weir to surface
of level) is referred to a head height. Enter the units in flow rate that will be
used, GPM (Gallons per minute), MGD (Million Gallons per Day), M3/Hr
(Cubic Meters per Hour)
Input Type
Allows the selection of Level, Distance, Volume or Flow. Based on user input
type selection, the USonic-R menu items will only allow data entry in valid,
related menus. I.e.: If Level is selected, menu’s for distance, volume and flow
are locked out.
Level
The measured distance from the sensor face to the target minus the tank
height. Or, the distance from the tank bottom to the liquid surface.
Level Mode
Output signal increases as the level increases (direct acting output)
Lost Echo
A condition that occurs when the ultrasonic transmission does not return to
the sensor. This could be due to foam, irregular surface, dished tank bottom,
etc.
LRV
(Lower Range Value) The point at which the output signal is equal to 4 mA
(0%). Also see Zero.
Max Flow
This is the maximum flow rate that is expected in a specific flume or weir.
This is not necessarily the maximum flow that the flume/weir is capable of
producing.
Maximum Capacity
Used in level to volume conversions, the maximum capacity of the vessel at
a known maximum level point.
Near Zone
The distance below the sensor where the measurement cannot be made (12
inches/305 mm)
vi
Glossary of Terms
Glossary of Terms
Range
The maximum distance measurable from the sensor face
Range of Percent
The percentage of level or distance between the LRV (4 mA, 0%) point and
the URV (20 mA, 100%), always enabled on the display.
Repetition Rate
This is the number of milliseconds that elapses between ultrasonic pulse
transmissions. Longer repetition rates may be helpful if there are multiples
reflections that are being picked up or if lost echoes are encountered due
to intermittent presence of foam or agitator blades. Consult Factory before
changing this parameter.
Sensor Offset
Used to tell the transmitter the amount of distance above or below the tank
height that the sensor is mounted in order to calculate the tank volume.
Span
The point in the vessel where the output signal is equal to 20 mA (100%).
Also see URV
Strapping Table
Correlates Level information to Volume information. A 21-point table that can
be customized to accommodate an irregular shaped vessel, flume or weir.
Information is entered as a Level “in” point vs. a Volume “out” point for all 21
possible points.
Tank Height
This is the measurement from the Tank Bottom to the face of the sensor.
Time Delay
Time delay allows signal averaging over the specified duration (0-90 seconds).
Useful if wave action causes the output signal to be too “jumpy” for control /
indication use.
Totalizer reset
The USonic-R has two totalizers, one that is a permanent record of the total
volume that has been measured and a second totalizer that can be reset to
zero by the user. The Reset Totalize can be reset to zero in the configuration
software to allow the user to take periodic measurements from a reference
point in time.
Totalizer Scale
The totalizer keeps record of the total volume that has passed through the
flume/weir. In large flumes & weirs multipliers annotate this total volume. Each
“count” on the totalizer can be representative of an exponential volume of
water (X-100, X-1,000, X-10,000 or X-100,000 can be selected)
URV
(Upper Range Value) The point at which the output signal is equal to 20 mA
(100%). Also see Span.
Volume
The level of the liquid in the vessel converted to volume based on tank
strapping tables,
Zero
The point in the vessel where the output signal is equal to 4 mA (0%). Also
see LRV.

Introduction
Section 1: Introduction
1.1 Product Description
The AMETEK Drexelbrook® USonic-R™ Series Level Measurement
System is a 2-Channel, 24-Volt, or Line Powered, assembly. Using
ultrasonic technology, the USonic-R™ continuously and accurately
measures Level & Distance up to a range of 30 feet, or Open Channel
Flow. The measurement output is a 4-20 mA current signal or Digital
Communications. Internal Strapping tables can convert the USonic-R
output signal to be proportional to volume or Flow.
The USonic-R Sensing Element is made of CPVC for compatibility with
a wide range of process materials.
1.2 Types of Output
Level Mode:
Output increases as the internal level of the vessel increases.
Level output is the most common type of output measurement.
Configuration is referenced from the bottom of the vessel.
Distance Mode:
Output increases as the distance increases away from the Sensing
Element. Configuration is referenced from the Sensing Element
Face.
Flow Mode:
Output increases as head height level increases (increasing flow
rate). Output is non-linear with level changes and is based on the
flow characteristic of a selected Flume, Weir, or strapping table for a
custom primary flow device.
Fault Indication:
Output (assigned to the channel at fault) goes to 3.7 or 22 mA (user
selectable) during a Lost Echo or Near Zone condition.
For all other faults, the output goes to 22 mA.
Possible Faults:
Near Zone
Lost Echo
No Sensor - Communications to Sensing Element was lost
Error 1 - Reserved
Error 2 - EEPROM Check Sum Error
Error 3 - Reserved
Error 4 - EEPROM Does not respond
Error 5 - Communications to sensor was lost (shown in Datalogger)
Error 6 - Reserved
Error 7 - Reserved
Error 8 - Unknown error occurred - Consult factory

The point at which the output signal is equal to 4 mA (0%)
Span: (URV)
The point at which the output signal is equal to 20 mA (100%)
Range:
The Maximum distance measurable from the Sensing Element face.
Near Zone:
The distance just below the Sensing Element face where the System
cannot make a level measurement (12 inches / 305 mm).
Lost Echo:
A condition that occurs when the ultrasonic energy is not being
returned to the Sensing Element. For example, a loss of echo may
occur when large amounts of foam are present.
Strapping Table:
Displays the value of the input to level and output to volume or flow
in percent in a 21-Point table. This also allows points to be changed
to accommodate irregular shaped vessels and custom flume or weir
characterizations.

Introduction
1.4 Definition of Terms (Continued)
Sensor Offset:
Sensor Offset is used to tell the USonic-R the amount of distance
above or below the top of the tank that the Sensing Element face is
located in order to calculate the tank volume. Sensor Offset can be
applied in cases where:
• The Sensing Element protrudes below the top of the tank, or
• The Sensing Element is mounted above the top of the tank, or
• A pipe extension is installed to raise the Sensing Element face 12"
above the tank height to compensate for the 12" Near Zone.
• If the Sensing Element is mounted above the top of the vessel,
a Positive value is entered in Sensor Offset.
• If the Sensing Element is mounted below the top of the tank,
a Negative value is entered in Sensor Offset.

2.1Unpacking
Carefully remove the contents of the shipping carton and check each item
against the packing list before destroying any packing material. If there
is any shortage or damage, report it to the factory immediately.
2.2 Mounting the System
The USonic-R electronic Sensor is located within the tube assembly of
the Sensing Element and is not serviceable by the user. Tampering with
this construction will void any existing warranties.

Installation
2.3 Mounting the System (Continued)
The USonic-R is designed for field mounting, but it should be mounted
in a location as free as possible from vibration, corrosive atmospheres,
and any possibility of mechanical damage.
For convenience when adjusting and configuring, place the USonic-R
Series in a reasonably accessible location. Ambient temperature should
be between -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C).
The Sensing Element must be mounted vertically and perpendicular to
the liquid surface. When mounting the USonic-R Series Sensing Element,
consideration must be given to the 12-Inch (305 mm) Near Zone. If the
level rises to within 12 inches (305 mm) of the Sensing Element face, a
user selectable 3.7 mA or 22 mA error signal is generated; Error message
(
) is indicated.
The conical beam of the USonic-R Series is approximately 10 degrees.
Therefore it is necessary to ensure that there are no unnecessary
obstructions within this beam path. Erroneous reflections can adversely
affect system operation.

Mounting Recommendations
For Open Channel Flow use, an optional mounting kit is available for
mounting above a flume or weir to position the system above the flow
stream. The mounting kit allows movement vertically and horizontally
for maximum placement.

4.10Relays
The USonic-R includes 6 relays that may be configured for a number of
different functions. These functions include Alarm, Control, Batch Sample
Activation, Pump Alternation, and Manual Operation. All relays may be
configured independently for any output assignment such as level, flow,
volume, etc. The relay state depends on the set point, dead band, and
failsafe settings of the selected relay. All relays may have a time delay of
up to 99 seconds, and may be enabled or disabled (all relays are Disabled
by default).
If the USonic-R loses power, all relays will change to the alarm state.
Glossary of Relay Terms
Set Point
The set point parameter is the upper value at which the relays change
state (Alarm for HLFS or Normal for LLFS).
Dead Band
The dead band parameter determines the lower value at which the relays
reset (Normal for HLFS or Alarm for LLFS). The lower value is calculated
as Set Point - Dead Band.
Failsafe
The failsafe parameter determines the relationship between the assigned
output value and the Alarm state of the relay. If failsafe is configured
for LLFS, an Alarm condition will occur when the output value falls
below the lower value (Set Point - Dead Band). If failsafe is configure
for HLFS, an Alarm condition will occur when the output value exceeds
the set point value.
Time Delay Mode
The time delay mode parameter determines when the time delay function
will be active. If the time delay mode is set to FORWARD, the time delay
function will delay the transition from Alarm to Normal. If the time delay
mode is set to REVERSE, the time delay function will delay the transition
from Normal to Alarm.

4.10.1 Relay Alarm Function (Latching)
Each relay may be configured for an alarm scenario. When a relay changes
to the Alarm state, the relay will remain in the Alarm state until the user
presses the Acknowledge button. When a system fault occurs, all relays will change to the condition state
selected in the menu. The default state is Alarm.
Configure the relay(s) as follows:
All relay parameters are configured in menu item 3.0n.00, where n is
relays 1-6.
1. Change the RELAY TYPE to ALARM (menu item 0n.02)
2. Assign the desired input channel to the relay (menu item 0n.03)
3. Assign the desired output value to the relay (menu item 0n.04)

6. Change the Time delay, Time Delay Mode, and Failsafe as needed
(menu items 0n.09, 0n.10, and 0n.11 respectively).
When leaving the menu, the user may need to press the Acknowledge
button to reset the relays.
4.10.2 Relay Control Function (Non-Latching)
Each relay may be configured for a control scenario. A relay configured
as a control relay, will not latch in the Alarm state. When a normal
condition occurs, the relay will change to the Normal condition. A control
relay would be used for pump control, etc.
When a system fault occurs, all relays will change to the condition state
selected in the menu. The default state is Alarm.
Configure the relay(s) as follows:
All relay parameters are configured in menu item 3.0n.00, where n is
relays 1-6.
1. Change the RELAY TYPE to CONTROL (menu item 0n.02)
2. Assign the desired input channel to the relay (menu item 0n.03)
3. Assign the desired output value to the relay (menu item 0n.04)
4. Change the SETPOINT value (menu item 0n.05)
5. Change the DEADBAND value (menu item 0n.06)
6. Change the Time delay, Time Delay Mode, and Failsafe as needed
(menu items 0n.09, 0n.10, and 0n.11 respectively).

Configuration
4.10.3 Batch Sample Activation Function
Each relay may be configured for Batch Sample Activation. The activator
operates according to a defined totalizer value. The assigned input channel
must be configured for a flow application See Section 4.5. The normally
off state of the relay is HLFS Normal. When a sample activation occurs,
the relay changes to the Alarm condition for 50-1000 ms (user selectable)
to activate the sampling.
Configure as follows:
All relay parameters are configured in menu item 3.0n.00, where n is
relays 1-6.
1. Change the RELAY TYPE to SAMPLE (menu item 0n.02)
2. Assign the desired input channel to the relay (menu item 0n.03)
3. Change the SAMPLE VALUE to the desired sample interval (menu
item 0n.07)
4. Change the SAMPLE DURATION to the desired sample pulse width
(menu item 0n.08)
Example configuration: With this configuration, the relay will activate every 10,000 gallons.
1. Set the Totalizer Scale of the assigned input channel to x1000
2. Assign the Flow units to gallons/minute.
3. Change the SAMPLE VALUE to 10 (gal x1000).
Example configuration: With this configuration, the relay will activate every 100 gallons
1. Set the Totalizer Scale of the assigned input channel to x1000
2. Assign the Flow units to gallons/minute.
3. Change the SAMPLE VALUE to 0.1 (gal x1000).
All other relay parameters will have no effect.

USonic-R™ USR-XXXX Series
4.10.4 Pump Alternation
The pump alternator allows the user to alternately turn on and off a set
of up to six relays successively from one or more set points. The number of PUMP Relay Types will determine the number of
alternating relays. For a 2-pump alternator, one relay would be assigned
as PUMP 1 Relay Type and another relay would be assigned as PUMP 2
Relay Type. The setpoint of PUMP 1 would be the pump-activate setpoint
and the setpoint of PUMP 2 would be the high-level failsafe. If the level
rises/falls too fast for pump 1 to handle, both relays will activate when
the high-level failsafe setpoint is reached.
1. At least two relays must be assigned for pump alternation.
2. The setpoint of PUMP 1 must be the setpoint with the lowest Activate
value.
3. The high-level failsafe setpoints should be arranged in increasing
order (e.g., PUMP 2 setpoint < PUMP 3 setpoint < PUMP 4 setpoint
< PUMP 5 setpoint < PUMP 6 setpoint).
4. The relays may be assigned to pumps in any order. However, no two
relays may be assigned to the same PUMP.
For a 3-pump alternator starting with relay #1, configure:
1. Change the RELAY TYPE of relay #1 to PUMP 1 (menu item 01.02)
2. Change the SETPOINT and DEADBAND values of relay #1 to the
desired Activation point (menu items 01.05 and 01.06, respectively)
3. Change the RELAY TYPE of relay #2 to PUMP 2 (menu item 02.02)
4. Change the SETPOINT and DEADBAND values of relay #2
to the desired high-level failsafe (menu items 02.05 and 02.06,
respectively)
5. Change the RELAY TYPE of relay #3 to PUMP 3 (menu item 03.02)
6. Change the SETPOINT and DEADBAND values of relay #1 to the
desired second high-level failsafe (menu items 03.05 and 03.06,
respectively).
4.10.5 Manual Operation
All Relays may be configured independently for manual operation
For the manual operation, configure the relay(s) as follows:
All relay parameters are configured in menu item 3.0n.00, where n is
relays 1-6.
For a HLFS Alarm Condition:
• Change the RELAY TYPE to MAN ALARM (menu item 0n.02)
For a HLFS Normal Condition:
• Change the RELAY TYPE to MAN NORMAL (menu item 0n.02)
All other relays parameters are ignored when a relay is configured for
manual operation.

Communications
Section 5: Communications
5.1Description
The USonic-R uses the Modbus protocol for communicating with a PC or
devices such as a programmable logic controller. Modbus is a masterslave protocol that is openly published. Many PC programs currently
exist for communicating with Modbus supported devices. The USonic-R
supports the RTU transmission mode over RS-485 or RS-232.
5.2Compatibility
The USonic-R supports all the required specifications and is conditionally
complaint.
5.3 Implementation Class
The USonic-R uses the Basic Implementation Class of the Modbus
protocol. The table below shows configurations capabilities of the basic
implementation class.

5.4Wiring
WARNING! If the USonic-R is located in a hazardous environment, do
not open the enclosure cover or make / break any electrical connections
without first disconnecting electrical power at the source. Ensure that
wiring, electrical fittings and conduit connections conform to electrical
codes and Approval Agency Control Drawings for specific location and
environment.
5.4.1 Wiring for RS232
RS232 is designed for a cable length of 25 feet or less and is only used
for point-to-point communications with a PC. An adapter cable must be
used such as the 380-5000-100 to convert the DB9 connector of the PC
to the 3 wire terminal on the USonic-R. The diagram below shows the
proper wiring.
5.4.2Wiring for RS485
RS485 is designed for cable lengths of to 4,000 feet. As many as 32 Modbus
devices may be multi-dropped on the same bus. A twisted pair is used to
connector the USonic-R to a host such as a PC with a RS485 converter or
PC card. It is recommended that the twisted pair be shielded and at least
24 AWG. The shield should be connected to common only at one end.
If the RS485 bus already has terminating resistors installed, the jumper
JP2 on the motherboard must be set to position 2-3. This will remove the
built-in terminating resistor that is connected by default.

be 2H 50M, for 2 hours and 50 minutes.
2. If the Logging Interval was set to 12 hours, the Duration value would
be 2Y 294D, for 2 years and 294 days.
Due to the limited number of characters available on the LCD display,
the duration values may not have space to display the nearest minute,
if the duration is greater than 1 day.
7.2.4 Trigger Assignments
In addition to the data log interval, the data logger is capable of being
triggered by two additional sources, or one source per input channel. Each
trigger source has a corresponding high and low trigger point.
Example:
To configure the data logger to record a log point when the level of
channel 1 rises above 180 inches and falls below 120 inches, configure
the following:
1. Assign CH1 Trigger Assignment (menu item 5.03.04) to Level.
2. Change CH1 High Trigger Point (menu item 5.03.05) to 180 inches.
3. Change CH1 Low Trigger Point (menu item 5.03.06) to 120 inches.
7.3 Using DataView™
7.3.1 Overview
DataView™ is a PC program that will download the logged data from the
USonic-R, and save it in a Comma Separated File (.CSV) for opening in
programs such as Microsoft® Excel®. 7.3.2 Configuration
Choose Options->Communications in the menu to open the communications
dialog box. The Communications dialog box allows the user to change the
Device Address (Same as Device ID), the COM Port, and the Baud Rate. Change the Baud Rate and the Device Address to match the settings
on the USonic-R that you wish to communicate with. DataView™ will
communicate with either RS232 or RS485. An RS485 converter or PC
card will be required for RS485.
56
Data Logger
7.3.3
Downloading Log Data
The USonic-R has a maximum of 2048 possible log points. You may
select the starting and ending points to download. Point 1 is the oldest
point. If the user chooses to download points lowest to highest, the data
will be downloaded as oldest to newest. The user may also download
points highest to lowest. This will give the user the most recent logged
data first.
Point 2048 will not be the newest point if the USonic-R has not yet logged
at least 2048 points. For example, if the USonic has only logged 5 points
since the first power-up, the newest point would be Point 5.
7.3.4
Saving Log Data
Choose File-> Save As to save the data to a CSV (Comma Separated
Variable) file. This file may then be opened using programs such as
Microsoft® Excel® for analysis of the log data.

Troubleshooting
Section 8: Troubleshooting
The USonic-R™ Series Ultrasonic Level Measurement System is designed
to give years of unattended service. No periodic or scheduled maintenance
is required.
8.1 Troubleshooting Procedures
If a problem should occur with the operation of the system, use the
following procedure for troubleshooting.
1. Ensure wiring connections are correct.
2. If the liquid surface has severe turbulence in the area where the
ultrasonic beam hits, consider increasing damping time.
3. Splashing of material or condensation on the Sensing Element face
could cause unreliable measurements.
4. Any continuous ultrasonic signal (echo) can be adversely affected by
significant foam on the liquid level surface. If this condition exists,
please consult the factory for further application review and advice.
5. Ensure that the Sensing Element face is not recessed into a mounting
nozzle, unless a SmartGain™ setting is used. Spurious reflections
from the nozzle can cause faulty operation.
Maximum Nozzle Length = 18.5" (470 mm)
6. To indicate a fault condition, the 4-20 mA signal locks to 22 mA
(or 3.7 mA) . If output is locked at 22 mA (or 3.7 mA), check that:
A) The level of the material has not violated the near zone
(12 inches, 30 cm) from the Sensing Element face.
B) The low calibration setting is not more that 360 inches
(30 ft., 914 cm) from the Sensing Element face.
7. Test for 4 mA and 20 mA.
A) Using the Display Keypad to force the output signal to a constant
4 mA or 20 mA.
8. If attempts to locate the difficulty fail, notify the local factory
representative, or call Drexelbrook directly.
To aid in troubleshooting, please complete the information in
Section 8.4 before calling the factory service department.
8.2 Optimized Field Calibration
The Configuration Menu Allows a 1-Point calibration based on a known
actual distance. This can adjust for any possible variations that may exist
in the speed of sound, or to provide an optimized calibration data point
in difficult applications.
• Using the Display Keypad, enter the correct actual distance from the
Sensing Element face to level. The USonic-R will use this data point
as reference on all future readings, unless "Restore Factory Settings"
is selected.

8.3 Analog Output Adjustment
Trimming the analog output to match a loop meter (This function is factory
calibrated, and generally does not have to be adjusted)
TRIM 4mA (4.0n.07)
1. Measure the loop current (mA dc) on the desired analog output
channel.
2. Menu 4.0n.07 will force the loop current to 4.00mA.
3. Using the keypad, enter the actual loop current indicated on your
device (multimeter)
4. The receiver will recalibrate the analog output to match your entered
value.
TRIM 20mA (4.0n.08)
1. Measure the loop current (mA dc) on the desired analog output
channel.
2. Menu 4.0n.08 will force the loop current to 20.00mA.
3. Using the keypad, enter the actual loop current indicated on your
device (multimeter)
4. The receiver will recalibrate the analog output to match your entered
value.

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. No government contract regulations or clauses shall apply
to the goods or services, this agreement, or act to bind Seller unless specifically agreed to by
Seller in writing.
NON-WAIVER BY SELLER: Waiver by Seller of a breach of any of these terms and
conditions shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach.
SEVERABILITY AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT: If any provision of these terms and conditions
is unenforceable, the remaining terms shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect. This
writing, together with any other terms and conditions Seller specifically agrees to in writing,
constitutes the entire terms and conditions of sale between Buyer and Seller and supercedes
any and all prior discussions, and negotiations on its subject matter.
